The Mouth of Sauron has just left Hobbiton.
Elves and Dunland

After the defeat of Sauron, the returning hobbits, accompanied by Gandalf and Elves from Rivendell and Lorien, left Isengard on their way home, crossed the Isen and entered Dunland.

At that point Tolkien says that the Dunlendings hid themselves, "being afraid of Elvish folk, though few indeed ever came to their country".

That statement implies that some Elves must have visited Dunland from time to time, within the living memory of Dunlendings. Any ideas on who those Elves would be and what their business was ?
